Me (to recruiter, the kind whose supposed to be getting me a job): I'm just calling to say I'm still available and checking in to see if there's anything out there
Recruiter: Thanks for calling, but so far, still nothing.
Me: What about that (blank) job on your Web site?
Recruiter: Oh, that's just a general posting because we've been getting a lot of calls for jobs like that and we need more candidates to fill them.
Me: (wondering if why they keep on getting calls like that I haven't been called on any of them). No, I'm talking about another job posting.
Recruiter: Hmmm…oh yeah. Hold on a sec. Oh yeah, that job hasn't been filled yet and it's still open. How about that?
Me: (said internally) Brilliant. And you guys make money by how exactly?
